About Paul
Paul Hunt is a counsellor who aims to put worried parents at ease from the first contact. He listens without judgement and helps people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, low or burned out to find clearer footing. He speaks plainly and offers a calm, steady presence in sessions.
He uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's experience at the centre of the conversation. Paul also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
He blends these with mindfulness and practical motivational conversations when helpful. Paul is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. He has three years' experience and works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and parenting worries, grief, trauma, addiction issues, ADHD and neurodiversity-related challenges.
He also supports people dealing with body image, attachment and abandonment issues. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Paul aims to make the first steps simple and straightforward so parents can focus on what matters most - the wellbeing of their family and themselves.
His approach is warm and down to earth. He aims to help people name hidden feelings, reduce overwhelming thoughts, and try small changes that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
How Paul’s approaches work online
Paul uses a person-centred approach that keeps the conversation focused on what matters to the individual. This means the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client's lead while offering encouragement to name feelings and notice patterns.He also makes practical use of cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps people recognise unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to shift responses. CBT can be particularly useful for anxiety, low mood and some stress-related problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Paul will explore your goals, preferences and day-to-day context and together you will decide which techniques to try. The process is collaborative and adapts over time as needs change.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you see facial cues and keep a conversational flow. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins or a way to work that does not rely on scheduling a full call.
These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and make it easier to continue support when life gets busy. Paul and other registered or accredited professionals use these formats to keep the focus on practical progress and steady emotional support.
